Be prepared to talk about details of your academic background and performance, the projects you have worked on, the professional relationships you have forged, and your problem solving abilities.

Bring a list of references and examples of your technical writing abilities if they were not requested earlier in the process.

Those are the highlights. Let your qualifications and confidence speak well for you. We look forward to the opportunity to meet you.
